    These adapters were perfect… The only problem was that personal CD players of the same era skipped when you looked at them wrong.

      I remember buying a Sony mp3 CD player with 5-second skip delay for $80.

      Everyone was still using regular CD players with their 80 minutes of audio, carefully holding their precious device.

      While I was living like a god, playing over twenty hours of music, dropping my player over and over, without losing a beat.

      I remember shopping for diskmans that had the longest anti-skip.

      You definitely had to keep the cd player in a level spot in your car where it didn’t bounce around a lot
